Old Forester Launches The 117 Series: Triple Char
Old Forester has released the latest expression in The 117 Series: Triple Char Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
Triple Char is the first Old Forester expression to be crafted entirely from whiskey distilled at Old Forester’s Whiskey Row location on Louisville’s Main Street, as opposed to the Brown-Forman Campus in Louisville. To commemorate the milestone, the bourbon was aged in barrels charred three times longer than traditional Old Forester expressions to intensify the interaction between whiskey and oak.
Official tasting notes for Old Forester The 117 Series: Triple Char follow:
Nose – Pecan praline, crisp juicy apple and bright notes of stone fruit present with undertones of cardamom, honeysuckle and sweet leather.
Taste – Buttery baked apple cobbler coats the palate while cinnamon spice and pepper add texture as notes of oak char lead to the finish.
Finish – Rich oak leads the finish with soft leather and subtle hints of sweet licorice.
Old Forester The 117 Series: Triple Char is bottled at 115 proof (57.5% ABV) and is available in limited quantities at the Old Forester Distillery and select Kentucky retailers for a suggested retail price of $64.99 for a 375 mL bottle.
